Daily Khabrain ( Urdu: روزنامہ خبریں) is a Pakistani daily newspaper based in Lahore. [1] The Daily Khabrain is published by the Khabrain Group of Newspapers. It is published simultaneously from Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, Multan, Hyderabad, Muzaffarabad South Punjab Bahawalpur and Sukkur. [2]
It is a member publication of All Pakistan Newspapers Society organization. [2]
Daily Khabrain was established following a split in the editorial staff of Daily Jang's Lahore office during the late 1980s. [1] Zia Shahid, among others, left to create Daily Pakistan, a publication funded by a group of investors known as members. [1]
Within a year, differences arose between Shahid and the senior editorial staff, prompting him to initiate Daily Khabrain in 1992. [1] [3] In this new venture, he transformed the business model, requiring potential reporters and distributors to purchase an upfront membership. [1]
The newspaper has displayed a proactive editorial stance. [1] It created teams to inspect various businesses for potential illegalities, which were then publicized. [1] In addition, it took on a role in moral policing, particularly for women and youth in educational institutions and marketplaces. [1]
In 1997, Daily Khabrain focused its efforts against Mohammed Yusuf Ali from Lahore, alleging that he proclaimed himself a prophet. [1] The term "kazzab", or liar, was used to label him. [1] In 2000, he was convicted on blasphemy charges and sentenced to death but was murdered in prison before the sentence could be carried out. [1] Purportedly, a reporter from Daily Khabrain was involved in smuggling a weapon into the prison for the murder. [1]
By the mid-1990s, the newspaper's sensationalist and nationalistic reporting style had propelled it to become the third largest daily in Punjab, following Daily Jang and Nawa-i-Waqt. [1]
Khabrain Group owns the following publications and television station:
